Also, Florence's intellectual bent makes me think that she wants somebody closer to her equal. She gets off on power games like most Wodehouse ladies, but she really does seem disappointed that Bertie just isn't up to Nietzsche. I see her as the kind of controlling person who wants to have plenty of submissive people around, so that she always has the option to walk over them at will, but is ultimately bored and unhappy without someone who she can see as an equal or a challenge. IDK, she might do well in an epic ho-yay feud with somebody like Stiffy? For some reason I can see her having a vicious, lifelong, totally nonsexual professional rivalry with Rosie M Banks, and in her middle/later years, realizing that this relationship is actually more important to her, emotionally, than her marriage with whatever browbeaten Drone she ended up with and enjoyed molding for all those decades.
